Exceeded My Expectations
I'd like to start by saying this firm exceeded my expectations. From day one, my attorney Mike was transparent about the entire process and kept a great attitude throughout the entire process. I had never had an injury on the job, so I assumed my employer would have my best interest in mind. However, I quickly learned the harsh reality of being a worker injured on the job. I learned my employer’s insurance company controlled everything; they made everything as difficult as possible, giving me the minimum care. X-rays and MRIs had to be approved and sometimes took days. The insurance companies send you to doctors that work for them, so treatment gets delayed and injuries get downplayed. I was told by my employer that if my injuries had permanent work restrictions, I would need to find another job. I knew I needed a lawyer, so I called the firm, and they became the aggressive advocate I needed. They knew every angle and all the games the insurance company tried. Mike fought hard for a resolution with my best interest in mind, and I am truly grateful. We got the best outcome with my treatment and a great settlement. Without this firm, I'm more than certain my employer and their insurance company would have never been held accountable. If you have been injured on the job, trust me, you want this firm on your side.

I truly recommend this law firm.
I came to Haight Stang, LLC through recommendation for consultation on a workman's comp inquiry. I met with Michael Stang. I gave details of what caused my injury after that... Haight Stang took my case and took care of me. I felt I didn't have to worry. Michael informed me of what to expect next. Michael kept me informed of communications he had with workman's comp representative. I'm pleased with the way he worked with me. Also pleased with the overall outcome. I truly recommend this law firm. I say thanks to Michael and his team, you're awesome. Once again, thanks.
Respectfully,

A Man You Can Trust
Honesty, integrity, and merit. Three things I have never said about a lawyer. That changed the day I met Michael Haight. He was given an opportunity and chose not to capitalize on it. Instead, he helped me make the best decision based on his profession. He walked me through the process over the next couple of days. This was a worker's comp settlement. With the help of Michael Haight, I received the best possible outcome that I could have hoped for. He never asked for a penny. This is a man that you can trust. He puts the human back in humanity.

FULL DENIAL SUCCESSFULLY DEFEATED$62K Win for Injured Worker
A young lady suffered overuse injuries to both of her hands and arms working at a local meat processing plant in Missouri. Although she reported her pain, numbness, and tingling, her claim was denied, and she was not allowed to return to work. She hired our firm, and we were able to secure carpal tunnel releases, elbow injections, and physical therapy to reduce her symptoms. To avoid a looming trial, the insurer agreed to pay 43.86 weeks of temporary disability benefits along with permanent partial disability benefits in excess of $62,000.
SURGERY DENIEDMedical Denial Overturned
Client suffered repetitive injuries to her bilateral upper extremities but was denied necessary medical treatment, and with no settlement offer. We first secured corrective surgery, followed by an award at trial of $42,708.15.
FIRED WHILE INJUREDTermination Overturned
Client was terminated while on light duty from a serious injury. The employer denied temporary disability benefits, which would have left him with no money while still in treatment and unable to work. The grounds for termination were challenged at trial, and we won, securing weekly benefits while our client recovers from surgery.
CLAIM FULLY DENIEDVictory After Claim Denial
Client suffered a significant shoulder injury needing surgery and preventing him from working. The employer denied the claim and tried not to report it to their insurance carrier. A successful trial resulted in surgery and rehabilitation as well as payment of disability benefits in excess of $57,000.

Workers' compensation is a form of insurance that provides medical benefits and wage replacement to employees injured while performing their job duties. It ensures that injured workers receive necessary care and financial support during their recovery, offering protection to both the employee and employer.
How long can I receive workers' compensation benefits?
The length of time you can receive workers' compensation benefits depends on the severity of your injury and your recovery progress. Temporary benefits continue until you return to work or reach maximum medical improvement. Permanent benefits may apply if your injury results in long-term disability.
Do I pay taxes on workers' compensation benefits?
Generally, workers' compensation benefits are not subject to federal or state income taxes. However, specific situations may vary, especially if you're receiving other benefits like Social Security. You should consult with a tax advisor for complete advice on your individual circumstances.
What benefits are available through workers' compensation?
Workers' compensation typically covers medical treatment related to the injury, wage replacement during recovery, disability compensation if you can't return to work, and vocational rehabilitation if you need help transitioning to a new role or job function.
